She seems even more tricksy than the other Aes Sedai, and that is saying something! <br /><br />I was really hoping that the Amyrlin would knock some sense into the girls, because they are far to happy to charge off into the unknown right now.Looks-Mostly-Harmlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00918651503213054373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3936635192759786622.post-62376395378757246052013-05-06T15:02:25.798-04:002013-05-06T15:02:25.798-04:00Thank you! :)

The beginning of TGH always seemed to me to be someone (Ishamael or Ba'alzamon), or possibly several of the Forsaken working in tandem, drawing the mass of Darkfriends into Tel'Aran'Rhoid. I am trying not to spoil, I would add another possible explanation... But that would require knowledge not given yet to put into full context...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15764055560122520649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3936635192759786622.post-64257462316465081252013-05-05T21:48:21.947-04:002013-05-05T21:48:21.947-04:00I agree that Verin withholding that info is fishy....I agree that Verin withholding that info is fishy. I really want her to be good guy team, but I fear that she is bad guy team. Or perhaps this is her way to assert power over Egwene, as knowledge = power in her little world. <br /><br />I like the idea of Manetheren warriors coming back at a time of great need, and through the man who blew the Horn. Perhaps the two are connected, perhaps not. <br /><br />Once again, I feel like Egwene, Nynaeve, and Elayne are being lead by the nose by the Dark Friends. What is that saying: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. nrlymrtlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00572346310916207565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3936635192759786622.post-43542205735775016802013-05-05T16:25:09.690-04:002013-05-05T16:25:09.690-04:00Some very perceptive answers here.

Hopefully the good guys realize the inherent advantages of the place, too.<br /><br />Possible reasons for Lanfear to send the girls to Tear? It has been speculated that she intends to draw Rand using the girls as bait, and to draw the girls using Liandrin as bait. Or, she's just trying to interfere with other Forsaken. Silvie's comments heavily imply that one of them is after Callandor, somehow. ("He wouldn't like seeing us here" or something along those lines.) This kind of complicated setup is common in WoT, but I'm not sure we ever find out what her real idea is.<br /><br />I agree that the girls seem to be way over-confident.<br /><br />My answers are over at Musings of Fantasia.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17109803991051330140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3936635192759786622.post-55111240014262798872013-05-05T12:41:40.678-04:002013-05-05T12:41:40.678-04:00http://dabofdarkness.com/2013/05/05/the-dragon-reb...http://dabofdarkness.com/2013/05/05/the-dragon-reborn-read-along-part-iii/<br /><br />Will be around after farm chores to chit chat over tea and crackers. nrlymrtlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00572346310916207565noreply@blogger.com
